NGC 6286 is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 80 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It is part of the Virgo Cluster, which contains thousands of galaxies. NGC 6286 has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years and is characterized by its bright central bar structure and spiral arms. Discovered by astronomer William Herschel in 1784, NGC 6286 is notable for its active star formation regions. Observations of this galaxy provide valuable insights into the processes of galaxy evolution and the dynamics of spiral galaxies in general. Its features make it a subject of interest for both amateur and professional astronomers.
